BISMARCK And GERNINY

Government triumph in the German cleo
tons next week is confidently predicted in the
cable dispatches Probably this will he the
best result that can happen. Prince Bismarck
is in the wrong and deserves to To beaten Oh
his appeal TO the constituencies but in his pres
cnt temper defeat would cxaspcratc him and
possibly plunge Europe into war; A Govern
ment victory will undoubtedly Increase the
chances OF peace on the Continent. A Govern
ment reverse may lead to extreme measures
which will bring Germany face to face with
France in deadly conflict. Tho Chancellor has
been so shrill and emphatic in his warnings to
the country Of the dangers to which it Is now
exposed that 1t is not unlikely that in The event
Of defeat he will bring on the fulfilmcnt of his
own prediction.
Gambetta expressed in 1880 decided opin-
ion that so long as Bismarck lived he would
be a dcspotic master Of the dcstinics OF Ger
many. The Rechstag. he predicted, might oc-
casionally challenge The Chanccor's authority
and defeat his measures, but do what they
might they would never he able to shake his
position. This estimate was undoubtedly ac-
curate. Prince Bismarck is not only man Of
gcnius-measured by the magnitude Of the re-
suits accomplished by his career he is the
greatest European stree Napoleon but his la
bors on behalf of German unity have been 50
successful as to giTc him supreme authority in
politics SO long rs he remains in Office. Gricv-
Gus as have been his offences against progress
sive liberalism and the principles Of rcprcscn
tative government. he will be granted immu
nifty from them this year, as he has been many
times before. Nothing could bc palmer than
the constitutional right of the Ccntralists and
Progressists to limit the Army bill to three
years in place of seven. Nothing would be
moro unwaiTantabc than the Chanccllop's at
tempt to ovcrawe and browbcat the constit-
ucncics by making the supreme issue of Eu-
ropean peace depend upon the result of the
elections. But he is Bismarck, and he will
probably be allowed to have his own way.
German unity was not the work of q group
Of leaders and statesmen. 1t was the work OF
one man, who used the tremendous forces of
diplomacy and war with the energy and rcclI-
lessness of titan. The Germany which he
found scarcely more than n geographical cx-
prossion and rapidly converted into powerful
military empire is in peculiar sense Bismarck s
Germany. The Europe which he found slug
gish and unarmcd, but is now circle of camps
with ornaments slowly dragging down by
sheer weight continent into the abyss Of war,
is Bismarch's Europe. The man is master
while he lives. Another generation may sec
another Germany with Ministers responsible to
Parliament ard Tic representatives of the peO-
pie invested with supreme control over lcgis-
IatiOn and administration. Meanwhile the
Chancellor lives and knows precisely what he
wants. As Gambctta once said. I" For Bismarck

Who never reached Mexico at all, Just as the
Dependent bill includes others who never
reached hottie territory at all, the Presidents
objection to the latter bill on that ground is
clearly inconsistent with his signature of the
Mexican bill.
But the worst Of the business "The World !"
does not discuss. The bill which the President
vetoed was entirely for the benefit of loyal vet
Grams. The bill which he signed was chiefly
for the benefit Of Southerners who took part in
the war with Mexico and who afterward par
ticipatcd in rebellion against the very Govern
ment from which they arc now to draw pensions.
Though it is not possible to ascertain In what
tart Of the country the dependent or disabled
survivors of the Mexican war now are, or were
in 1861, it is prcsumable that the great proper
tion were from the Southern States, which have
always boosted that they took the large part in
that war for the extension of slave territory
The Southern survivors Of the Mexican war who
did not take part in the rebellion were very few
IN number. Mr.. Cleveland knew that former
rebels would get most of the money under tho
Mexican bill. and the pressure of his Southern
friends induced him to sign it. He knew that
Southern rebels would get mono of tho money
under the Dependent BILL and the opposition
of most of his Southern friends induced him to
veto that measure. But he might more shrcwdly
have avoided u comparison of the two measures,
which exposes him to charge of untruthfulness
from his political supporters

FRAUD DEFE4TING ITSELF

The Democratic robbery of seats in the New
Jersey Legislature has worked out its own de-
feat Whatever may now be the result of
balloting in the joint convention, this has come
to pass, that the Democrats cannot possibly
send to the Senate person with prima facic
claim to seat. The protest Of Al out of 81
members of the joint convention, clear ma
jority, has been formally entered upon its rec
ord. In this protest it is set forth that two of
the persons voting in that body, as now con-
stituted, have no right to seats, and without
their votes it is impossible to give pretended
majority for any Democratic candidate No
matter for whom the Democratic votes may
now be cast, his claim to seat in tho Senate
will be met at the very threshold with this pro-
test by majority of the body from which that
pretended claim is derived. There is no pos
sibility,one might reasonably say, that the Sem
ate will admit a claimant thus branded with
ccnsurc.

ton of Senator from Indiana has been re-

illegal. For instead of certifying in the usual

be the fault Of the Senate, should the Re

pluck to present the facts in due form.

resign, leaving his scat to be filed by Dem
